Google has announced the release of November 2025 update for Pixel devices with a new Pixel Drop that consists of features like AI notification summaries, ‘Wicked: For Good’ theme packs, Remix photos in Messages and more. Here’s everything to know about the newly announced Pixel Drop update for Google’s smartphones.
Pixel Drop November 2025: New Features
With Remix in Google Messages, you can edit and reimagine any photo using Remix in Google Messages. And any Android user can see your remixed photos even in a group chat. Remix uses Nano Banana, our Gemini image generation and editing model. And if you’re chatting with another Google Messages user, you can both remix the same image back and forth without leaving the app.
Next, the November 2025 update for Pixel devices brings AI notification summaries. Lengthy texts across chat apps are easily recapped in your notification shade, ideal for quickly catching up on busy group texts and long chat threads so you can instantly see what’s important and stay focused.
And coming in December, Pixel phones will be able to further “reduce notification overwhelm by organizing and silencing lower-priority notifications, saving you from unnecessary interruptions,” said Google.
Google has also released ‘Wicked: For Good’ theme packs so you can customize your Pixel with wallpapers, icons, system sounds and GIFs inspired by the film. Choose from three styles — For Good, Glinda and Elphaba for a different look and feel with each one of them.
Then, Pixel 6 and newer phones (in the U.S.) can now warn you about potential scams when you get chat notifications from many popular apps. Scam Detection for chat notifications automatically displays a “Likely scam” alert on notifications of messages that seem suspicious, giving you an early warning to help you avoid fraud.
Google has also updated how VIP notifications are shown. Message notifications from your VIPs now get prioritized so you don’t miss any texts from them. With your safety in mind, VIPs will also now have a crisis badge in the Contacts widget to keep you posted on critical alerts.
Personalised Edits in Google Photos are also being added with the November 2025 update for Pixel devices. To get started, open the Google Photos app, select the photo, tap “Help me edit” and ask Photos to “Remove Riley’s sunglasses, open my eyes, make Engel smile and open her eyes.” Photos will fix the image by using other pictures in your gallery that you’ve labeled and organized in your face groups to ensure a personalized, natural look.You can make other fixes too — like asking Photos to remove a hat or change a smirk to a smile. Eligible Android users in the U.S. can try asking Photos to apply these personalized edits.
Now, there’s also a new Power Saving Mode in Google Maps where you can just press the power button while you are navigating and “you’ll see a simplified layout, showing only key information like next turns. You’ll still have directions for your long trip while extending your battery life up to four hours.”
The company is also expanding access to some of the Pixel features to newer regions. Scam Detection, which uses AI to detect and warn you of speech patterns commonly used by scammers on phone calls, is now available to Pixel 9+ users in the U.K., Ireland, India, Australia and Canada. Additionally, users in more regions, including Australia, Canada, the U.K., Ireland and Japan, can access Call Notes. Call Notes uses Gemini Nano on-device to record your calls, take notes, generate a transcript and summary and provide next-steps based on your conversation.
Finally, you will now see more timely suggestions from the Magic Cues feature which is now backed by Private AI Compute that is Google’s latest AI processing platform, “built to deliver the speed and power of advanced Gemini models in the cloud while extending the same user security and privacy assurances of on-device processing.”
A new report suggests that Apple has indefinitely delayed the iPhone Air 2 which was supposed to be the successor to this year’s iPhone Air. The device was earlier rumoured to debut next year alongside other iPhone 18 models but that may not be the case anymore. Here’s what the report says.
Apple’s plans for the second-generation iPhone Air appear to have hit a pause. The device, originally expected to debut next fall with the iPhone 18 Pro and the iPhone Fold, was reportedly set to be even lighter than the current model and come with a larger battery. According to The Information, Apple was also developing a vapour chamber cooling system for the iPhone Air 2 — the same feature that was introduced in the iPhone 17 Pro.
However, the future of the iPhone Air 2 is now uncertain, as the report notes that Apple has “stopped short of canceling” the project, with some engineers and manufacturing partners still working on it. Moreover, there’s currently no scheduled launch date, and the move to take it off the roadmap is being described as “rare, if not unprecedented.”
The decision seems to stem from the iPhone Air’s weaker-than-expected sales. Foxconn has reportedly dismantled nearly all its production lines for the first model and plans to stop manufacturing entirely by the end of the month. Luxshare, Apple’s other production partner, already wrapped up production in late October.
Still, there’s a small silver lining for fans of the iPhone Air. Sources suggest the device might be undergoing a major redesign, and Apple could reintroduce the second-generation model as soon as spring 2027, alongside the iPhone 18 and 18e.
It is also possible that Apple will debut the iPhone 18 in 2026 itself, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Fold, while the 18e and Air 2 could come in Spring of 2027. Again, these are speculations and are to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Slim phones seem to have not taken off as well as the brands had expected them to. Samsung has also been struggling to sell the Galaxy S25 Edge and after seeing the poor reception of its own slim phone and Apple’s iPhone Air, it has also cancelled the upcoming Galaxy S26 Edge in favour of the Galaxy S26+, the device which S26 Edge was supposed to replace next year.
Google has been majorly focusing on its consumers in the Indian market for a couple of years now and is trying to capture a user base across all price segments. For that reason, it has its foldable device to compete with the likes of Samsung’s foldable and the iPhone Pro models. This year, with a price tag of Rs 1,72,999, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold aims to go head on with the Z Fold 7 and Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max but is it worthy of a price tag that steep? Let me help you with an answer to that question in our review of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
Design & Display
The design is what Google has figured out for the most part. Its Pixel 10 Pro XL is one of the most gorgeous smartphones in the industry right now and while the fold may not be matching the design wizardry Samsung has achieved with the thinness and lightness of the Z Fold 7, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is still a good-looking phone your eyes can’t miss in the public.
It has its own unique and distinct camera module on the back, which instantly helps you recognise it’s the fold from Google. Yes, it is thicker and heavier than the competitors but that doesn’t mean it’s uncomfortable to hold. The outer display aspect ratio is perfect for daily use as a regular smartphone and I prefer this aspect ratio over the Fold 7 which has improved from the Fold 6 but is still narrower than normal phones.
Being heavy could be a disadvantage for some but personally, the heft adds to the premium feeling of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Being thick means I can also easily (and quickly) unfold the Pixel 10 Pro Fold which is actually a pain with the Fold 7 as it is too thin to unfold quickly.
The buttons on the right have a good tactile feel but the positioning of the volume rocker is too low for my liking. The fingerprint sensor-embedded power key works like a charm, without any hiccups.
The Haptics are top notch and some of the best in the Android world. The stereo speaker setup is loud and has some bass to it so the sound is fuller compared to some other Android flagship. However, I still feel it doesn’t match the quality of iPhone’s speakers. Moreover, the location of the bottom speaker isn’t ideal as it can easily be blocked when holding the device in landscape.
The gearless hinge is smooth to use while unfolding and folding. It can also easily handle one half of the device at any angle. The IP68 rating is a cherry on top as it’s the first foldable in the world that can handle dust without any issues.
Overall, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is built like a tank. It’s premium, durable, beautiful, identifiable, and comfortable to use which is everything a smartphone should be in terms of design.
Coming to the display, the front cover panel is a 6.4-inch OLED display with 1080 x 2364 pixels resolution, 60Hz to 120Hz variable refresh rate, 408 ppi, and up to 2000 nits peak HDR brightness and up to 3000 nits peak brightness. It is protected with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and so is the back panel.
The bezels around the display are thicker than the Pixel 10 Pro XL’s but surely not as obnoxious as the Pixel 9a and are still decent to look at. The design on the front, with one side having sharp corners and the other rounded, could look a little odd at first but you get used to it quickly.
The panel’s performance is also enjoyable. It gets super bright outdoors, is sharp and shows vibrant colours. Further, it is also quite responsive and has great viewing angles, too. This panel, however, is inferior to the one used in the Pixel 10 Pro phones so it also doesn’t support the new wallpaper on AOD feature those phones have which is disappointing. Aside from that, I don’t have any major issues with the panel.
The inner foldable panel is an 8-inch LTPO OLED display which supports up to 1800 nits peak HDR brightness, 3000 nits peak brightness, 373 ppi, 1Hz to 120Hz refresh rate, and a Resolution of 2152 x 2076 pixels.
It possesses the same characteristics I described above for the main display and is one of the best displays I have seen on a foldable in terms of colours, sharpness, and brightness. The aspect ratio could slightly hamper viewing experience in some cases due to the huge black bars but that’s an issue most foldable screens have.
The only main issue I had with this panel is the crease. While most latest foldables have minimal crease, Google seems to have ignored working on it as it is quite visible and can be felt easily. Even a slight tilt while watching content will make it visible on lighter backgrounds.
Despite that, working on it, watching movies and videos, and going through Reels on a display this big which fits right in your pocket is still something you’ll enjoy on a daily basis.
Performance & Software
The device draws power from the Tensor G5 Chipset paired with 16GB RAM and 256GB of storage. It runs on Android 16 out of the box and will receive 7 years of regular feature drops and security patches.
With the Pixel 10 Pro XL review, we made it clear that it’s not meant for gamers and because we are dealing with the same chip and software on the fold, the situation applies here, too.
While it can handle even demanding titles, the lack of gaming features and proper optimisation is a letdown. At this price point, a foldable should be able to handle everything you throw at it and while technically the Pixel 10 Pro Fold can, to some extent, the sheer experience of playing games on this phone isn’t the best.
Gaming could have been a major plus point for this phone as anyone would want to play titles on that 8-inch foldable screen but unfortunately, you won’t get the same experience here as you’d get on a Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Performance wise, for daily use, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is nothing short of phenomenal. There’s super smooth animations all around, the aesthetics of the software are top notch, and RAM management has been impressive which is very important for a foldable device considering you’ll be multitasking a lot on that inner display.
Split Screen apps
Opening even demanding apps side-by-side, including apps like Google Chrome with multiple tabs open in the background, wasn’t an issue for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. It could keep them all in memory without breaking a sweat.
This is the most feature-rich Pixel you can get as it has the hardware advantage which also gives it the software advantage that makes the most out of the hardware. For instance, you get the Taskbar here (which other Pixel 10 devices lack) when you use the foldable display.
With that, you can drag and drop icons to open an App next to another app that’s already open. Switching apps with the taskbar is also quick. You can also PIN the taskbar to always have it there when you are using the inner screen instead of having to bring it up by swiping from the bottom.
The multitasking system on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is restricted to split screen, so it’s not as intense as Oppo’s, Oneplus’, and Samsung’s foldable phones where you can even have apps open in pop-up windows. Aside from this, you can save your preferred split screen app pairs so they always open side-by-side with a single tap.
If you fold or unfold the device while using an app, it can continue to stay open on either screen if you choose to do so in settings, otherwise you can turn this off, or choose a setting where you have to swipe up after folding or unfolding to continue using the device (without entering your password).
There are a few bugs present with the software, though. Sometimes upon folding the device, the screen goes blank and the device has to be locked and unlocked to make it work.
Speaking of AI, the experience remains identical to the Pixel 10 Pro XL, with features like Magic Cues (which still doesn’t work for me), Pixel studio, Pixel Screenshots, NotebookLM, ability to add background music with AI for your recordings, create AI wallpapers, and of course, Gemini, which remains the most useful AI feature on Pixel phones for me personally.
There’s plenty of personalization available such as effects on wallpaper, coloured icons, number of clock styles for lock screen, gestures such as tap to wake, double press power button to open camera, and more. Features like Now Playing and Private Space remain my personal favourites. The live activities on lock screen work well and are quite useful, especially for Google Maps. However, the apps that can use this feature remain limited for now, compared to OnePlus’ and Apple’s implementations where the feature works with a decent amount of third party apps as well.
Overall, while the Pixel’s software experience is clean and polished and it’s a huge advantage for Google’s slab phones, such as the Pixel 10 Pro XL, it can be a disadvantage for the foldable form factor at the same time because it limits the true potential of what that huge foldable screen can do. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold has the power to handle those workflows but simply lacks the software implementations compared to the extensive feature set of a Z Fold 7 or a foldable from Vivo, Oppo, or OnePlus.
It’s a Pixel, so timely updates from Google are expected. The device has received a couple of updates since we started reviewing and should soon receive the November 2025 security patch.
Connectivity performance of the handset remains decent. 5G works as it should, while Wi-Fi and Bluetooth performance is optimal.
Battery
The smartphone is backed by a 5015mAh battery with 30W Fast wired charging and support for Qi2 15W wireless charging also.
It’s a decently big battery for a foldable phone and is definitely bigger than what we see on the Galaxy Z Fold 7. It’s slightly smaller than the 10 Pro XL’s 5200mAh cell but the results still look promising. With moderate use, I could easily get 2 days of usage and with heavier use it was lesser.
Usage including chatting on WhatsApp and Telegram, scrolling through Instagram Reels, browsing Chrome, some calling, and listening to music, etc., resulted in about 7.5 to 8 hours of screen-on time and this is with AOD enabled.
However, this can drop slightly if you use the inner display more than the cover display as the battery has to power more pixels then. It can drop to 7 hours or slightly below if your usage remains on the demanding side.
Charging time was around 1 hour 40 minutes when charging with a CMF 65W GaN Charger which could have definitely been faster when compared to competition.
Cameras
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold gets a triple camera setup at the back including a 48MP f/1.7 primary sensor with OIS, a 10.5MP f/2.2 ultra-wide angle lens and a 10.8MP f/3.1 telephoto sensor with 5x optical zoom, PDAF and OIS support. There are two front-facing cameras, inclusive of a 10MP f/2.2 outer front camera and the same sensor on the inside as well.
Photos shot outdoors with this camera look quite similar to the 10 Pro XL’s. They are sharp, show a natural colour tone, and do not disappoint in terms of dynamic range, too. Even after zooming in you’d see the pixels won’t fall apart at all.
The ultra-wide angle shots retain the same colour tone as the primary sensor shots but they do have some amount of noise. The dynamic range and exposure control also get messy to some extent. EDGE distortion is handled decently.
2x zoom5x zoom20x zoom
The third telephoto lens does a great job. The phone can zoom in up to 20x, and even at that level, the shots still look fairly clear. At 5x zoom, the photos retain good detail, and at 2x, the results are excellent.
Portrait shots have exceptional detailing and super accurate edge detection. Similar to the XL, these are again some of the best portrait photos I have seen from a smartphone.
Under low lighting, the night sight mode shines where you can clearly see the exposure difference. The colours remain intact and there’s actually close to no noise in the photo.
Shots under artificial lighting are again outstanding. You get to see high levels of detailing and the colours look very natural. Again, the device doesn’t compromise in any aspect when shooting under artificial lighting.
Selfies from both the 10MP Sensors are decent. Details and sharpness are on point and the skin tones are handled quite accurately. Even selfie portraits have a natural-looking bokeh effect and edge detection once again looks great.
Rear camera selfie
Moreover, you can also use the cover screen as a viewfinder to take selfies from the back cameras. Due to superior hardware, of course, selfies from the back cameras are even better across the board, be it how the sensor handles skin tones and colours or the overall detailing in the shot.
Lava Agni 4 specifications have been revealed officially by the brand ahead of the November 20 launch of the device. The device will have an aluminium frame along with a dual camera setup on the back, a MediaTek Chipset under the hood, and more. Here’s everything to know about the up premium handset from Lava in India.
Lava Agni 4 Specifications
The Lava Agni 4 5G sports a 6.67-inch 1.5K Resolution AMOLED screen with a 120 HzRefresh Rate and 2400 nits of peak brightness. The display comes with 1.07 billion color depth, Widevine L1, 446 ppi, and supports HDR 10+.
It is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 8350 SoC, coupled with 8GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 onboard storage.
For optics, the Lava Agni 4 packs a dual-rear camera unit, headlined by a 50-megapixel primary lens with OIS, accompanied by an 8-megapixel f/2.2 ultra-wide angle sensor. For selfies, it features a 50-megapixel sensor at the front.
It includes an in-display optical fingerprint scanner for biometrics. Lava promises a clean Android 15 experience with no bloatware, no ads, and no unwanted notifications. The device will get 3 years of OS upgrades and 4 years of security patches. Connectivity options include 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth v5.4, USB-C 3.2 port, and GPS.
Additional features include stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, IP64 rated build, IR blaster, X-axis linear motor for haptics, and Virtual RAM support.
Battery details of the handset are yet to be revealed by the brand. Reports suggest it could pack a 5000mAh battery with 66W fast wired charging support.
A lot of new information has been leaked regarding the upcoming Galaxy S26 series, including the Galaxy S26+ renders, the camera specifications of the base S26 and the S26+, along with the new launch timeframe for the series. Here’s everything you’d want to know about the upcoming devices from Samsung.
According to Android Headines’ report showcasing the Galaxy S26+ renders, the device will sport an identical design as the base S26 (earlier rumoured to be called S26 Pro) but in a bigger overall form factor, similar to what we have seen with Samsung devices in the previous years. The device has a triple rear camera setup and can be seen in an orange shade (which is unclear whether it will make it to final production or not).
The Sensors are housed inside a pill-shaped module, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The keys reside on the right spine, while on the front one can notice thin and even bezels. The frame remains flat and the only major visual change compared to last year’s model is the camera module on the back. The Samsung Galaxy S26+ will measure 158.4 x 75.7 x 7.35mm as per the leak. Alongside the Galaxy S26+ renders, the same source also said that the Galaxy S26 measurements have also changed since the last leak, where the final prototype is slightly thicker than the previous one.
The naming scheme of the devices has also purportedly been changed to reflect the last-minute changes in the lineup where the S26 Edge has been cancelled. The lineup will now consist of the S26, S26+, and the S26 Ultra.
Galaxy S26 Series New Specifications Leak
A Smartprix report has leaked the Galaxy S26 and S26+ camera details, suggesting that Samsung is getting rid of the 10MP Samsung ISOCELL S5K3K1 telephoto sensor used in the Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25+ models for a newer 12MP Samsung ISOCELL S5K3LD sensor. The devices will, however, use the same 12MP Sony IMX564 sensor in the Ultra Wide Angle camera which Samsungthe has used in the former models of the S-series.
The primary camera is also being replaced with a newer 50MP Samsung ISOCELL S5KGNG sensor. However, it is unclear how much impact it will have on the final image output. The devices will also support 4K 60 FPS recording from both rear and front cameras due to added support for Samsung’s own APV codec.
The Galaxy S26 has a battery capacity of 4300mAh. On the other hand, the Galaxy S26 Plus comes with a 4900mAh battery. This was revealed through the same firmware which revealed the camera details of the S26 and S26+.
Galaxy S26 Series To Launch Earlier Than Expected, Exynos to Make a Comeback
Reports coming out of Korea suggest that Samsung has managed to bring back the launch of thr next S-series flagships back on track despite there being changes to the lineup in late stages of development. With the removal of the S26 Edge and Galaxy S26+ arriving as its replacement, it was being rumoured that the S26 launch was being pushed back by a month, with release set for March 2026.
As suggested by @Jukanlosreve on X, Samsung plans to hold a Galaxy S26 Unpacked event as early as late January next year while it will go on sale in February. This timeline is identical to last year, thanks to company-wide efforts due to which the delay could be avoided.
Furthermore, an industry official who requested anonymity said, “Samsung will put the Exynos 2600 only in the base model and the Plus model, and will equip the Ultra model with Qualcomm’s mobile application Processor (AP).” This is the same dual-chip strategy that was adopted by Samsung for the Galaxy S24 series but was scrapped with S25 series earlier this year. With S26 series, the Exynos processor will likely make a comeback once again, due to the rising costs of chipsets from Qualcomm.

Google has introduced Flashcards and Quizzes in NotebookLM App alongside an improved chat experience with an 8x larger context window, 6x longer conversation memory and boosting response quality by 50%. Here’s everything to know about the new features and improvements in NotebookLM.
According to a blog post by Google, here’s what you can expect from the NotebookLM app update:
“Memorize key terms, important dates and core concepts from your sources with flashcards.
Test your comprehension and challenge yourself with quizzes.
Customize the topic, set the difficulty and choose the number of cards or questions.
Temporarily select and unselect sources while chatting or creating outputs in the Studio tab, so the response is only based on the sources you care about right now.”
The ability to create flashcards and quizzes in NotebookLM were first introduced in September on the web. Further, there are new back-end improvements for Chat in NotebookLM, powered by the latest Gemini models, which work together to improve performance, quality and contextual understanding. With these improvements, Google says it has seen a 50% improvement in user satisfaction with responses that use larger amounts of sources.
Firstly, the company is enabling the full 1 million token context window of Gemini in NotebookLM chat across all plans, significantly improving the performance when analyzing large document collections. Plus, it has increased its capacity for multiturn conversation more than sixfold, so you can get more coherent and relevant results over extended interactions.
Secondly, Google has also enhanced how NotebookLM finds information in your sources. To help you uncover new connections, it now automatically explores your sources from multiple angles, going beyond your initial prompt to synthesize findings into a single, more nuanced response. “This is especially important for very large notebooks, where careful context engineering is critical in delivering a high quality and trustworthy answer, grounded on the most relevant information in your sources,” it said.
Thirdly, to support long-term projects, your conversations will also now be automatically saved. You can now close a session and resume it later without losing your conversation history. You can delete chat history at any time, and in shared notebooks, your chat is visible only to you. This will start rolling out to users over the next week.
Furthermore, you can also customize chat to adopt a specific goal, voice or role — ranging from a PhD student analyzing sources to a creative storyteller exploring ideas. To get started, click the configuration icon in the chat. “With the ability for everyone to set goals for conversions, NotebookLM is now better equipped to adapt to your specific project,” Google notes.
